Design guidelines
To make artwork setup simple, we recommend downloading the relevant template from the 'Product Templates' section above. Don’t forget to follow the template instructions and delete the 'guide' layer before exporting your design to a PDF.
For best printing results, ensure your artwork and images are RGB. If you use CMYK Pantone or spot colours in any element of your artwork, we will automatically convert them to RGB which may change your colour profile.
To eliminate any font issues, make sure all fonts are ‘embedded’ or ‘converted to outlines’ before creating your PDF print file. To ensure legibility, we recommend using a minimum font size of 10pt.
For optimal image print quality, ensure all images are 300dpi to 450dpi. Anything lower than 300dpi will give poor image quality. Images higher than 450dpi will result in high file sizes and may cause longer upload times.
To avoid alignment issues during cutting, be sure to include ‘crop marks’ (offset 10mm) and ‘document bleed’ when exporting your artwork file to PDF. Refer to our product templates for the required bleed specifications.
To meet our print requirements, ensure your file is exported in Adobe PDF (Print) format, ideally as PDF/X-1a: 2001.

Designing with Canva
We offer free Canva templates for many of our products, complete with the correct dimensions, bleed and safe zones. Where available, you'll find the Canva template in the Production templates section above, ready to open and personalise.

Canva uses RGB colour mode by default, which is designed for screens rather than print. For the best printing results, make sure you select CMYK when exporting your artwork. Converting from RGB to CMYK can cause slight colour shifts, so always check your exported PDF carefully before uploading to avoid unexpected results.
Need help with colours? Read our Canva colour guide.
Use fonts of at least 10pt to maintain legibility and keep important text within the safe zone. Use images at 300dpi or higher at their final size to avoid blurry or pixelated results.
Need help with image quality? Read our artwork resolution guide or watch our YouTube tutorial on how to export Canva designs for print.
Extend backgrounds, colours and images into the bleed area to avoid unwanted white edges after trimming. Keep important text, logos and design elements within the safe zone, and follow the bleed requirements for your chosen product.
Need help setting up bleed? Read our Canva bleed setup guide.
When exporting your finished design from Canva, select PDF Print and enable 'Crop Marks and Bleed'. This ensures your artwork includes the necessary bleed for printing. Remember to remove any template guides before downloading your file.

A magic mug, also known as a heat-sensitive or colour-changing mug, is a type of mug that changes its colour or reveals a hidden design when hot liquid is poured into it. The mug typically has a special coating that reacts to temperature, causing it to shift colours or unveil images, text, or patterns that are not visible when the mug is cold. Magic mugs are popular as novelty gifts, promotional items, or personalised mugs, offering a fun and interactive experience when used.
Heat-changing mugs feature a special coating that reacts to temperature. When hot liquid is poured in, the coating changes colour or reveals a hidden design, and once the mug cools, it returns to its original state. This effect is achieved using thermochromic inks or materials that respond to heat.
Our mugs are printed using a process called sublimation. The design is first printed onto a special transfer paper using sublimation ink, then placed on the mug and heated in a press. The heat causes the ink fuse directly onto the mug's surface, creating a vibrant, durable design that won’t peel or fade.
Our colour change mugs are standard 11oz coffee cups, holding 300ml of liquid.
No, magic mugs are not dishwasher safe due to their heat sensitive coating and should be hand washed only.
Colour matching is not available on standard online orders. If your print requires a specific colour match, please submit a bespoke quote request, and our team will review your requirements.
The turnaround time for personalised magic mugs depends on your chosen product specifications and finishing options. For faster delivery, we offer express production upgrades at an additional cost. To ensure your order is delivered on time, it is important we receive your artwork by the cut-off time indicated on both the product page and basket.
Please note: If your file is submitted after the cut-off time or if corrected artwork isn't provided before the next cut-off time following rejection, it will delay delivery by one working day.
We offer free standard delivery, with optional upgrades available for expedited service, including pre-10:30 AM and pre-12:00 PM for an additional cost.
Yes, we offer international delivery. Contact our Bespoke team for a shipping quote.
Yes, we can arrange split deliveries. Contact our Bespoke team to let us know how you'd like your order sent.
Uploading heat changing mug artwork is a breeze. After placing your order, click the upload button on the confirmation page. You can also upload your artwork through the Orders tab of "My Account".
Most orders are sent in boxes. For larger quantities, we may secure your order on a pallet (kerbside delivery). If your location doesn’t have tail-lift access, please contact us after placing your order so we can help arrange the best delivery option. Be sure to have your order number to hand.
